fun with wikipedia
So, agnjdevil tricked me into doing this. I'm not sure where the trickery came from, but it sounded good as I typed it.
Put your birthdate without the year into Wikipedia and see what comes up. (Events, births, deaths)
Notables of March 28--
Events (a lot of these have to do with war. does that mean something?)
845 - Paris is sacked by Viking raiders, probably under Ragnar Lodbrok, who collects a huge ransom in exchange for leaving.
1978 - US Supreme Court hands down 5-3 decision in Stump v. Sparkman, 435 U.S. 349, a controversial case involving involuntary sterilization and judicial immunity.
1979 - In Pennsylvania, a pump in the reactor cooling system fails at Three Mile Island, resulting in the evaporation of some contaminated water causing a nuclear meltdown.
Births
1899 - Harold B. Lee, president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (d. 1973)
1955 - Reba McEntire, American singer and actress
1970 - Vince Vaughn, American actor
1981 - Julia Stiles, American actress (expects brawi to swoon. Yes, she is only a year older than I am.)
Deaths
1910 - David Josiah Brewer, U.S. Supreme Court Justice (b. 1837)
1969 - Dwight D. Eisenhower, 34th President of the United States (b. 1890)
1987 - Maria von Trapp, Austrian-born singer (b. 1905) (OH MY GOD THE INSPIRATION FOR THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME DIED ON MY BIRTHDAY. I say this is fate my friends)
So yeah... that was my fun. EL was fantastic this weekend. It made me miss what college stood for. It's been a bad week and I know next week is going to be harder. Fleeing to my sanctuary was much needed. I'll post for real tomorrow.
